The collection of archaeological textiles of waste layers in the centre of Prague
Březinová, Helena; Kohout, D.
2017 - Czech
The paper summarizes the information about an unique assemblage of several hundreds of textile fragments from rescue archaeological excavations in the centre of Prague, in the New Town of Prague (Jungmannova, Vodičkova and Školská Streets), carried out in 2004-2008. During the excavations, a massive stratigraphy of organic origin was uncovered, which was the relic of a rubbish dump from the 14th and 15th centuries, and provided an unusually large amount of objects from organic materials - textile, wood and leather. The most interesting conclusions from the survey of woollen and silk textiles are presented, their broad spectrum provides an interesting view of medieval textile material culture. The results of the analyses of used dyes and the information about the restoration and adjustment of this extraordinary assemblage are presented too. Příspěvek přináší shrnující informace o ojedinělém souboru stovek textilních fragmentů pocházejících ze záchranných archeologických výzkumů v centru Prahy, na Novém Městě pražském (ulice Jungmannova, Vodičkova a Školská), které probíhaly v letech 2004-2008. Během výzkumů zde bylo objeveno mocné souvrství organického původu, jenž je pozůstatkem smetiště z období 14. a 15. století, a které přineslo neobyčejně velké množství předmětů z organických materiálů - textilu, dřeva a kůže. Představeny jsou nejzajímavější závěry z průzkumu vlněných a hedvábných textilií, jejichž široké spektrum poskytuje zajímavý pohled na středověkou textilní hmotnou kulturu, prezentovány jsou i výsledky analýz použitých barviv a informace o restaurování a adjustaci tohoto mimořádného souboru.

Geographical Horizons of the Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague
Hasil, Jan
2017 - Czech
The paper presents an attempt of structural (historical-geographical) analysis of the oldest Czech mediaeval narrative, the Chronicle of the Czechs by Cosmas of Prague. Based on the spatial analysis, there are four geographical horizons recognized: a mythical, a legendary, a historical and an autooptical one. Článek prezentuje pokus o strukturální (historicko-geografickou) analýzu nejstarší české kroniky, Kosmovy Kroniky Čechů. Na základě prostorové analýzy byly rozpoznány čtyři geografické horizonty textu: mytický, legendární, historický a autooptický.

Hellenistic mosaic glass and La Tène glass-working
Venclová, Natalie; Jonášová, Šárka; Vaculovič, T.
2017 - English
Hellenistic mosaic glasses are similar in their basic composition, as well as their trace elements, to the late group of La Tène glass of the 2nd-1st century BC. The imported glass vessels represent a luxury article used only by the elite in the Iron Age Europe.

Workforce allocation in self-sufficient economy in Late Iron Age
Olševičová, K.; Danielisová, Alžběta
2015 - English
We present an abstract model of workforce allocation of the Late Iron Age self-sufficient settlement. The model enables experimenting with parameters (the ratio of strong and weak workforce, the impact of bad weather, the ratio of targeted overproduction) during the harvest season with the aim to explore the agricultural bottlenecks (short periods per year when increased labour input is needed). Results of three experiments are presented. The model is extendable and is designed to be applied in archaeological research of socio-economic collapses.

The town of Chrudim in 14th and 15th centuries. Archaeology and history about the design and development of the city
Frolík, Jan
2015 - Czech
Development of the town of Chrudim is divided into two periods, separated by fire dated before the year 1338. The first stage is the period of formation and consolidation of urban organism. Second period indicates economic boom, accompanied by evidence of high standard of living (glass, stove tiles). Vývoj Chrudimi je rozdělen do dvou etap, oddělených požárem, datovaným před rok 1338. První etapa je obdobím vzniku a konsolidace města. Ve druhé etapě došlo k ekonomickému rozmachu, doloženému doklady vysoké životní úrovně (sklo, kachle).

Archaeological map of the Czech Republic (AMCR) as a backbone infrastructure of the Czech archaeology
Kuna, Martin; Křivánková, Dana; Hasil, Jan; Novák, David
2015 - Czech
The general aim of the AMCR project is to enhance the effectiveness of the information flow in Czech archaeology, i.e. in the framework of registering archaeological fieldwork and their results. This goal we see as a fundamental predisposition of the effective heritage management and one of the basic perquisites of successful theoretical research in archaeology, as well as in the presentation of archaeological heritage to the general public. The paper summarises current situation and outlines directions of the future development. Obecným záměrem projektu AMČR je zvýšit efektivitu toku informací v české archeologii, konkrétně v oblasti evidence terénních archeologických výzkumů a jejich výsledků. Vytčený cíl považujeme za nezbytný předpoklad efektivní památkové péče a jeden z předpokladů úspěšného teoretického výzkumu v archeologii, jakož i prezentace archeologického dědictví širší veřejnosti. Příspěvek stručně shrnuje současný stav a nastiňuje směry dalšího rozvoje.

Model of Carrying Capacity - System Dynamics in NetLogo and Stella
Olševičová, K.; Cimler, R.; Tomášková, H.; Danielisová, Alžběta
2014 - English
We compare implementations of system dynamics of Celtic settlement using two tools - NetLogo and Stella. The objective of the model is to catch the relations among the population growth, the production growth and the land use with respect to agricultural strategies. Our main objective is to better understand the Celtic society and economy and its sudden collapse. More broadly we are interested in the applicability of multi-method simulation (agent-based approach enhanced with system dynamics and process modelling) in archaeological research.

Applying System Dynamics and Agent-based Modelling in Archaeological Simulation
Olševičová, K.; Danielisová, Alžběta
2014 - English
We apply the social simulation to the cultural milieu of the late Iron Age in Central Europe and its economic strategies, especially on the subsistence and the carrying capacity of the settlement agglomeration in relation to the daily economic needs of its inhabitants. By means of the computational models of the economics of the particular central settlement (Staré Hradisko oppidum) and its hinterland we aim to verify hypotheses about the economic sustainability in case self-supplying is applied. To achieve this, the agent-based modelling, cellular automata approach and system dynamics modelling are used. In the paper we present four alternative scenarios of population dynamics (baseline and three versions of depopulation) and four alternative scenarios of food production and agricultural practices (baseline and three types of external events). The set of models for all scenarios was implemented in NetLogo and Stella. Outputs of the models are subject of interests of archaeologists and according to their feedback the models will be refined and extended.
